You young guys are so fortunate you probably don't realize how much. I would have given my left you know what for a Corvette at 16. I was driving a old $200 56 chevy stepside pickup at 16 and was delighted to have it. It is probably a collector now but was a junker when I was driving it. Good for you guys.
